Preservation Metadata:The PREMIS Experience Priscilla Caplan Florida Center for Library Automation (FCLA) PRESERVATION METADATA: IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES
The Mission • Build on the first OCLC/RLG Working Group and A Metadata Framework to Support the Preservation of Digital Objects • Define an implementable set of core preservation metadata elements PRESERVATION METADATA: IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES
OAIS Information Model Content Information Preservation Descriptive Information Content data object Representation Information Reference Info Context Info Provenance Info Fixity Info PRESERVATION METADATA: IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES
What is Implementable? • As rigorous as possible • As much explanation as possible • Implementation neutral -- “This is what you have to know” • Values can be automatically supplied and processed -- no lengthy textual descriptions PRESERVATION METADATA: IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES
What is Core? What most working preservation repositories are likely to need to know in order to support the long-term Viability, Renderability, Understandability, Authenticity and Identity of archived objects. (Maybe.) PRESERVATION METADATA: IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES

Metadata Best Practices • Have a rigorous data model and relate metadata clearly to appropriate objects • Store metadata in database and also with content data object • Use METS, Z39.87 • Store complete metadata for all versions of objects PRESERVATION METADATA: IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES
Deliverables • Final report • Data Dictionary • Narrative explanation • Data model • Glossary • Incorporation into METS schema • Proposal for test bed & exchange PRESERVATION METADATA: IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES
